-------------------------------------
Rename/describe the ticket? :)
I had been thinking the same thing.

> I'm using Cassandra 1.0.8, on Windows 7. When I take a snapshot of the
> database, I find that I am unable to delete the snapshot directory (i.e., dir
> named "{datadir}\{keyspacename}\snapshots\{snapshottag}") while Cassandra is
> running: "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it
> is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again" [in
> Windows Explorer]. If I terminate Cassandra, then I can delete the directory
> with no problem.
> I expect to be able to move or delete the snapshotted files while Cassandra
> is running, as this should not affect the runtime operation of Cassandra.
